I guess you could say that 1981 began the GloriaJohnson era. Johnson has the potential to break allof Jones' records. Johnson has produced scoringoutputs of 40 and 31 points this year.

If the Aggiettes are to win this tournament,they're certainly going to need some high scoringgames from Johnson. The Aggiettes don't have alot of high scorers. They do have an excellent pointguard in Marsha Simmons. Simmons has speed,quickness, and outstanding hands, which are allnecessary qualities in a point guard.

Champions to the NCAATournament is no doubt amajor step towardincorporating BlackInstitutions into the "lavishmoney making machine" forNCAA Division I Athletics.Some of the coaches of theMEAC gave their views onwhat the NCAA Tournamentmeans for the MEAC.

A.B. Williamson, HowardUniversity's basketball coach(a graduate of A&T and coachof the year in the MEAC lastyear), said, "The automaticbid to the NCAA Tournamentwill allow the MEAC toshowboat some of its athletesand give them nationalexposure." Can the MEACteams compete with the teamsthat may be in the NCAATournament? "Talent wisemy teams can compete withany team in the country,"Williamson responded.

Don Corbett, A&T'sbasketball coach, said at thebeginning of the season, "Theautomatic berthof the NCAATournament will no doubtgive the players an addedincentive." At a recent pressconference in Winston-Salem,Corbett said, "Everybody isgoing to be fired up for thatautomatic berth, everybodywants to be the first team torepresent the conference(MEAC), and this is themotivation. I really don'tknow if there is a real value inwinning the regular seasonchampionship."

"It alsoenhances the conference in thefact that it brings more capitaland more publicity and allthese things create a betterconference," Jones said.Jones said, "This willallow usto get better athletes and,when you get better athletes,you compete better."

Many think that inauguralof the MEAC Champions tothe NCAA Tournament willattract "blue chip" ballplayers. Ken Free,commissioner of the MEAC,said, "We already have bluechip players; it's a matter ofexposure; the NCAATournament will give us thatexposure."
